Simon And Garfunkel - Sound Of Silenceadd

Intro: F#m
                        E                                   F#m
Hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again,
           A             D   A                               D   A
Because a vision softly creeping, left its seeds while I was sleeping,
        D                              A                    F#m     A
And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains,
            E          F#m
Within the sound of silence.
F#m                           E                               F#m
In restless dreams I walked alone, narrow streets of cobblestone,
                A      D     A                              D        A
'Neath the halo of a street lamp, I turned my collar to the cold and damp,
         D                                        A               F#m  A
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light that split the night,
                 E       F#m
And touched the sound of silence.
F#m                        E                              F#m
And in the naked light I saw ten thousand people, maybe more,
                A        D  A                           D    A
People talking without speaking, people hearing without listening,
        D                               A                    F#m A
People writing songs that voices never share, and no one dare,
             E       F#m
Disturb the sound of silence.
F#m                             E                            F#m
"Fools!" said I, "You do not know, silence like a cancer grows."
                    A        D    A                              D    A
"Hear my words that I might teach you, take my arms that I might reach you."
        D                          A F#m        A            E      F#m
But my words like silent raindrops fell, and echoed in the wells of silence.
                            E                         F#m
And the people bowed and prayed to the neon god they made,
                      A       D  A                            D   A
And the sign flashed out its warning, in the words that it was forming,
                         D
And the signs said "The words of the prophets are written
                A                         F#m
On the subway walls, and tenement halls"
      A                 E       F#m
And whisper'd in the sounds of silence.
